Page 30 of July 13-27 issue of RS has Jim elaborating on the group The Slip:
"I usually don't like bands when I see them live for the first time. But this trio of Berklee College of Music dropouts blew my mind at the recent Mountain Jam in Hunter, New York. At a show like that you expect to hear a dude wail over a blues scale for half an hour, but the Slip are creative and weird: the drummer shakes it down with a hip-hop backbeat, the bassist plays a baritone guitar and the guitarist plays lots of crazy solos without losing the tight pop melody. Most things that are widely accepted suck, but hopefully these guys will be semi-widely accepted--because its beautiful stuff."
Check them out--I think most of us here will catch onto them...maybe we'll seee them open for MMJ later this year?
